Glare , Solar Heat, UV Building Comfort Window Film Designed For Florida Climate

Beat the Florida Heat: Why Window Film is a Must-Have for Commercial Buildings

Florida’s sunshine is a major draw, but for commercial building owners and property managers, that beautiful sun can translate into skyrocketing energy bills and uncomfortable tenants. The constant battle against heat and glare can impact productivity, tenant satisfaction, and ultimately, your bottom line.

Fortunately, there’s a powerful and cost-effective solution: high-performance window film. Advanced Film Solutions, specializing in LLumar and 3M window film, offers reliable and economic solutions that deliver a multitude of benefits for Florida’s commercial properties.

Here’s why window film should be at the top of your list for optimizing your building’s performance:

 

This means your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard, leading to substantial savings on your monthly electricity bills. In Florida’s climate, where air conditioning runs almost year-round, these savings can add up quickly, providing a rapid return on investment.

Enhanced Tenant and Employee Comfort

Uncomfortable tenants and employees are unhappy ones. Excessive heat, glaring sunlight, and hot spots near windows can lead to complaints, reduced productivity, and even tenant turnover. Window film addresses these issues directly by:

  • Reducing Heat: Maintaining a more consistent and comfortable temperature throughout the building, eliminating those annoying hot spots.

  • Minimizing Glare: Cutting down harsh glare on computer screens and workspaces, which reduces eye strain and improves visibility.

When occupants are comfortable, they are more productive and satisfied, leading to higher lease renewals and a more positive working environment.

 Superior UV Protection

The sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays are a silent destroyer. They fade carpets, furniture, merchandise, and even damage valuable artwork and interior finishes. More importantly, prolonged exposure to UV rays is a known health risk for building occupants. LLumar and 3M window films block an astounding 99% of these damaging UV rays.

Advanced Film Solutions is Tampa’s commercial window film installation leader. 

  • Increased tenant comfort and reduced tenant complaints
  • Tenant retention due to more usable space – eliminates hot and cold spots

    Improved Safety and Security

     

    While not its primary function, window film adds an extra layer of safety and security to your commercial building. In the event of an accident, natural disaster, or attempted break-in, the film helps hold shattered glass together, preventing dangerous shards from flying and potentially injuring occupants.

Find The Right Window Film For Coolest Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, Bradenton Homes

Advanced Film Solutions and  3M Prestige and LLumar, Huper Optik and VISTA cool Florida homes.   

DSC00182

3M Prestige and VISTA Films reduce energy usage without sacrificing the views or aesthetics.

These transparent window films are a far cry from the window tinting that many consumers may be sadly familiar.


I’ve actually seen people cringe when they hear the topic of window films being discussed.

 
 
Their impression, that window film’s all bubble or turn a horrible shade of purple!
 
To be frank the fault for this impression is based upon the early years of window film when most films were constructed with dyed polyester.
 

 
 

These films had a very short life-expectancy and homeowners and businesses that invested in the early window film products soon discovered their obvious limitations.

Many of today’s Do It Yourself (DIY) window films continue to be manufactured with short-lived dyed polyester. You see it on the highways every day. Purple everywhere!

  • VISTA Films simply can not turn purple because there are no dyes in the composition of these films.

  • The optical clarity of VISTA Films is incomparable.

  • The VISTA Film, LLumar and 3M Prestige are warranted for a lifetime against adhesive failure, blistering, etc. etc.


The “bottom line?”

Never sacrifice aesthetics or compromise your views when you invest in VISTA Films.

 

That’s the reason the overwhelming majority of Interior Designers specifically recommend VISTA Films.

 

That’s the reason Advanced Film Solutions highlights the luxury homes we have completed in gated communities and estates.

After all, homeowners in Westchase, Waterchase, Champion’s Club, Fish Hawk Estates, Landsbrook and Connerton would never accept a blurry, shiny, bubbling solution.
